Electric cars as mobile batteries represent the future of urban energy. A pilot project in Ghent envisages dedicated spaces for shared cars and private vehicles that will serve as energy storage facilities. According to city officials, this is a key step toward managing the growing pressure on the power grid without the need for expensive infrastructure investments. The aim of the year-long trial is to evaluate the economic and technical benefits of V2G technology. Shared vehicles are ideal for this purpose, as their use can be accurately predicted using reservation systems. mobilityenergy.com 🇬🇧
